A former McNairy County sheriff's deputy is facing felony charges after a state investigation revealed he shot and killed seven dogs while responding to an animal welfare call.

Connor Brackin, 24, has been charged with seven counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and eight counts of reckless endangerment, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), WMC reported.

The incident occurred on November 4 in Bethel Springs, Tennessee. Brackin, who was tasked with checking on the welfare of the animals, reportedly released one dog to the individual who called in the welfare concern. For reasons still unclear, Brackin shot and killed seven dogs on the property.

Following an investigation, a warrant was issued for Brackin's arrest. He turned himself in and has since been released from the McNairy County Jail on bond.

Brackin had been employed by the McNairy County Sheriff's Office for less than a month before his termination.

No further details have been provided about what led to Brackin's actions. The TBI continues to investigate.
